Thanks for the feedback Ted.

Yes, I've spec'd all I looked at with integrated wireless, and bluetooth if
available for that particular model. And this Adapter showed up for one or
two of those.

Maybe a type, I see that one model page allows me to add a Dock II, another
page for the same model number DOESN'T allow you to add a dock.

Would be nice if they'd provide decent photos of the various models as well,
the little 360 degree viewer is nice if you're just browsing but I feel like
I'm havin' to look through a pinhole :)

Does the TP model you're configuring already include built-in WIFI? If
so - and most of them already do - you wouldn't need a PCMCIA WIFI card.
  If not, an internal PCI WIFI option might be an available
configuration option, which would be preferable over a card that will
use up a PCMCIA slot (and protrude from the unit somewhat).
